Shopian: Three unidentified militants were killed today when they attacked a paramilitary camp in Jammu and Kashmir's Shopian town, 50 km from capital Srinagar. Two bodies have been recovered so far.
Police said they have also recovered weapons including hand grenades and AK-47 rifles from the militants.
Some CRPF jawans were also injured in the attack.
The attack came hours before the high-profile Zubin Mehta peace concert in Srinagar, scheduled to begin at 5 pm today and expected to be attended by over 1500-strong exclusive audience, including government ministers and diplomats. (Read)
The separatist groups in Kashmir have boycotted the concert with a total shutdown in Srinagar today.
A parallel counter concert has also been organised by a few groups, barely 10 km away from Shalimar Gardens, the venue of Mr Mehta's much anticipated concert.
